Yesterday, the big girls had dance camp. Their Mimi P saw that the dance studio in her town was doing a dance camp a couple of days this summer and asked if the girls would like to do it. Since I don’t have a car during the day, and Scott goes in at 5 AM (NO way am I waking the kids at 4 to take him) she said they could spend the night with her and she’d bring them home. They always love having slumber parties with Mimi. I always enjoy it, also, because I get some one on one time with Harper.
I bought a huge slip n slide at Aldi last weekend, and finally set it up in the morning yesterday. She had a blast. It’s not very easy to actually slide down, but she loved scooting around and getting sprayed with the water.
She really loved sitting in the little pool at the end.
Mimi sent me some pictures and videos while the girls were at dance camp. They ended up being the only two in camp that day. Crazy! I appreciated feeling included. I was beaming with pride because Addi was REALLY nervous about whether she would like it or not. She really wants to do gymnastics. Chloe was also following instructions so well.
When they came home, Addi was going on and on about dance class. She was showing me all of the moves they learned, telling me all about their snack, and showing me her art work. I had to drag the information out of Chloe. haha! When Scott got home from work, Chloe blabbed his ear off about camp. #favoriteparent Addi had us do some dance moves and stretches with her. Ladies, find yourself a husband who is willing to do ballet moves with his daughters.
I know that Chloe had a blast, she is just more quiet about it. I keep finding Addi wearing her ballet slippers. They are hand-me-downs from Chloe. This morning, she finally took them off and I found this.
Ignore how dirty they are (Chloe used to start dance class in tap shoes and then change into ballet half-way through. Dirty dance floors.) If you can’t tell, she crossed out Chloe’s name and wrote her name (in cursive) and age. I love seeing them so excited about trying new things! The next camp day is a month away. I’m sure we’ll have a count down going soon. 😉 It is crazy to think that my little girls are growing up so much.
Parenthood is funny like that. We can’t wait for our kids to grow up because we are exhausted or frustrated or struggling. Then, they do and we are heartbroken. I was just reading through old posts from my Blogspot blog. I’m so thankful to have documented their childhood- good days and bad. The memories are so fun.
